The Crown Prosecution Service said the law covers “images
that show the genitals but also anything that a reasonable person
would consider to be sexual.”

Pictures that show someone “engaging in sexual behavior or
posing in a sexual way,” are also included, the clause
added.

“It is an offence for a person to disclose a private sexual
photograph or film if the disclosure is made … without the
consent of an individual who appears in the photograph or
film,” according to the law.

Jef McAllister, managing partner of law firm McAllister Olivarius
which represents revenge porn victims told The Metro: “The
law ONLY covers those who forward or share (for instance, by
liking on Facebook) images or videos.”

Nonetheless, McAllister says there is “no law against
receiving images,” but if you share them “you could be
breaking the rule.”

So pleased to hear that #revengeporn
is finally illegal! Sad that there are so many who have already
been affected. Such a horrible act.
